Re: Non Dead Dave Gilmour - Animals |
Roger looks kike he really, really wants to be back in the club at the end, but no love for him. :-(
E- thanks AR, that's like with a l not a k: and definitely not a pejorative slur at Jewish people.

Re: Non Dead Dave Gilmour - Animals |
Oh dear. Bad typo up there ... yikes ...
Animals may have been my number one album in sheer number of times played till I found the GOGD. DSOTM was great, of course, too, and definitely a touchstone of 20th c culture. Were there any dorm rooms where it wasn't played incessantly, musical generation after musical generation?

Re: Non Dead Dave Gilmour - Animals |
Animals features what is probably Gilmour's best guitar playing on any record. He totally dominates the album. The solos aren't quite as hummable (and the songs not as short) as the radio-friendlier stuff, so I think it gets less love.
It helps to see the album as a whole, where they keep upping the tension until the last two minutes of Sheep, at which point Gilmour just blows the doors off. Very satisfying.
